Shotgun Wedding - Jason Isbell

Shotgun Wedding chords

INTRO: D  Em  G  D  Em  G  D

G                     D
Ten years out of high school
G                     D
Still no idea what to do
G                        D
You took him home from a night club
G                       D
He took a night club to you


Now I watch from the window
Too guilty to scream
My feet are like steel, I
Might be in a dream


BRIDGE:
                 A                                 G             D
But every time I see you, you look bigger than you did the day before
              A                                G   D
Even though I know it's not my fault I wish it was
      A                           G                  D
I can ride the elevator all night long from floor to floor

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



               A                                G    D
And I can only stand outside your window in the dust


CHORUS:
               D            Em
So how about a shotgun wedding
                G      D
What about your dignity
                            Em
What about a different setting
           G  D
What about me
                            Em
All your daddy's wishes, honor
            G       D
All of that security
                         Em
How about a shotgun wedding
           G  D
What about me


I guess I'm a loner
Some call me a freak
Saw  you in the hallway
Too guilty to speak

Now I sleep in the daytime
And I sleep on the floor
I dial your number
And I knock on your door


BRIDGE:
But every time I hear your voice or footsteps, I get frozen in my place
And I have to struggle for the courage just to run
I can see the eyes of all the ones that left you glowing in your face
And I just wanna help you with this life that you've begun


CHORUS

             D            Em
What about a shotgun wedding
           G    D 
What about me
